Beaten to Death-Heavy Imports.

LAREDO, Jan. 3d. Rapael Pinales,
an ex-captain in the Mexican army,
who was so badly beaten in New La
redo few days ago by policeman
and two other Mexicans from this
side, died yesterday evening of his
wounds. 1t is said the Mexican gov
eminent will make demand for the
policeman, who escaped to this side.
The other two Mexicans who made
the assault were captured at the time,
and will in all probability be shot by
the Mexican authorities. The value
of imports from Mexico through the
Laredo customhousc for the month of
December last amounts to $l05,800.

CHRISTMAS GREETING.

Hail merry time
or frost and rime,
The mistletoe and holly;
Hail, pleasant cheer
That crowns the year;
Hail, every thing that's iollyl
Blithe be the day
With roundelay,
With carol, glee. and laughter;
May sweets entice,
And all that's nice
Come plontifully after.
Now do we buy
In purchase sly
Our tributes to the season;
As friend to friend
The gifts we send,
Or, maybe-love's the reason.
Then loving hearts
With careful arts
Strive to be undetected,
And check surmise
With irigid guise,
So gifts come unexpected.
Or just below
The mistletoe
The lad his lass has captured;
And from the miss
He steals kiss
She startled-he enraptured.
Or in retreats
Exchange OF sweets,
And privileges tender;
The blushing maid
Yields, hall afraid,
In roseate surrender.
And trembling age
Turns back the page,
The eye has transient wrinkles;
And to their wills
Add codicils
For knaves who kiss their wrinkles
Hail! merry time
OF song and chime,
JOY speed each flying minute;
Each moment dear,
Because the year
Has but one Christmas in it.

figator.

SAN ANTONIO, Jan. 25.-Last Mon
day Mr.. Jones arrived in the city from
Houston and stopped at a boarding
house on Avenue c, saying his partner
would be here in few days. Two or
three days afterward he started down
town and has not been seen since. His
baggage was left at tho clearinghouse.
His partner came yeaterday and he
has been investigating his accounts,
and detectives have been employed TO
try and trace him.
This morning a couniryman brought
in a monster live alligator twelve feet
long, which he says he captured an
Weayer's Lake, in Frio county, by
roping him.

"PROHIBITIoNIsTs polled 26S,-
7e9 votes for state officers in twen-
ty states at the elections in 1886,
against 1876, 1853 votes in the same
states in 1884. If democrats in
the Texas legislature wish to build
up an opposition party let them
vote for submitting prohibition
amendment to the people, argues
the Morning News. The HERALD
thinks the prohibition party Gas a
political party. will be built up
more readily by the democrats of
Texas through their representa-
tives in the Legislature refusing the
much petitioned vote on a prohi-
bition amendment. Gov. Ross
recognizes the business of COM
pliance with this request from the
people, and in his message recon-
mends the submission of the
amendment. There are those,
however, more interested against
prohibition than in favor of dem
ocratic supremacy.

A Decided Improvement.

The following we clip from Osceola
Rre'Hc of Cleariield county, Pa; A most
beautiful change and improvement is
now noticeable in all the buildings con-
nected with Sheriff Pies foundry and
machine shop, but especially in the
moulding and machine departments.
Heretofore these rooms, with the best of
lights obtainable, were black, dingy and
smokey; unpleasant TO be in any length
of time, and certainly unhealthy. To-
day with the beautiful electric light, the
air is pure, and brightness is seen in
every nook and corner. The sheriff is
proud that he has introduced it, and we
are proud Of the sheriA7s enterprise
Wednesday evening the works were Wis
tied by many of our citizens As the
sheriff has power sufficient to supply
the town with light and as the only ex-
pense would be the purchasing of larg-
er machine and the wires, it seems alb
surd that we should longer grope our
way through darkness, or be ANNOYED
in our households with foul-smelling
coal oil lamps, the cracking of chimneys,
and an empty lamp just when we need
full one In Philipsburg, we under
stand the cost is only from one to two
cents night for each burner. Will not

set the ball in motion and keep it rolling
until our town possesses the luxury now

Mr. J. J. Pie resides but short dis
lance from this town. We are glad to
know that he is making such improve
ments Sorry that he is not located here.

of the mines, was closed by the crash,
and the yentilating machinery brought

to appoint him, have made a very
acceptable officer.

A Suggestion to the Travelling Public,
Tourists, emigrants and mariners find
that llostetter's Stomach Btters is a
medicinal safeguard against unhealthful
influences, upon which they can implic-
lilly rely, since it prevents the effects of
vitiated atmosphere, unaccustomed or I'M
wholesome diet, bad water, or other CON
ditions unfavorablc to health. On long
voyages, or journeys in ATTITUDES adjacent
to the equator, it is especially useful as a
preventative of the lebrie complaints
and disorders of the stomach liver and
bowels which are apt to attack natives of
the temperate zone soiouning or travel
ing in such regions, and it is an excellent
protection against the influence of ex.
IRENE cold, sudden changes of tempera-
turc, exposure to damp or extreme
fatigue. 1t not only prevents intermit
tent and rcnlittcn fever, and other dis
eases of a malarial type, but cradicates
them a fact which has been notorious
for years past in North and South Amer
lea, Mexico, the West ln3iet, Australia,
and other countries.
